Starting quarterback Brandon Weeden wont play in the Browns preseason finale Thursday night against the Chicago Bears, coach Pat Shurmur said this afternoon during his post-practice news conference. Colt McCoy will start, and fellow quarterbacks Seneca Wallace and Thaddeus Lewis also will play, Shurmur said.
The competition between McCoy and Wallace for the No. 2 quarterback job is still up in the air, Shurmur said.
I think as theyre out there playing, were gathering information about whether theyre gonna be a member of the 53[-man roster], he said.
The preseason finale could have served as one final tune-up for Weeden. Shurmur, however, is confident Weeden is ready for the Sept. 9 regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
I think hes very prepared, Shurmur said. I think hes had an outstanding camp. I thought he had an outstanding offseason and really hes kind of improved every day. So for a guy thats going through this for the first time as a pro, I think hes very ready.
